One day Sebasti n is a soccer phenom, dancing his way around the ball up and down the pitch.The next day he isn't.As if coming to terms with needing to use a wheelchair isn't enough at 14 years old, Sebasti n also has to face more changes and all at once. Switching schools because of the family's move to a new neighborhood, and changes in the relationship with his father, due to the sudden absence of soccer in their lives, causes way too much stress. This new reality is NOT a good time for Sebas.Anthony is struggling in his relationship with his dad, too, mostly because he thinks his father wants him to be something he's not - or at least Anthony doesn't think he is. Instead of practicing his guitar and trying to be as good as a musician as his father, Anthony just wants to be left alone to play video games with his friends. The two boys meet at Sebasti n's new school, and, after a bit of a rocky start, the boys develop a friendship. Later, with the help of a professional hockey player, who is also facing his own challenges, both Sebasti n and Anthony begin to realize that what they think is reality is not the same as what really is. Teachers: this book is level 2/3, depending on your students.
